Riced Cauliflower with Ginger, Lime, and Mint (Vietnamese-Inspired)

This Vietnamese riced cauliflower is packed with flavor and antioxidants from ginger, mint, lime, and cilantro. This healthy side won’t disappoint and goes great with Green Curry Chicken.

I really don’t know what I’d do without cauliflower. It’s so diverse and versatile and it’s easy to find organic all year round. Cauliflower also tops the list of liver-supporting foods. It is a great source of dietary sulfur, in the form of sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol. These compounds are key to both phases of liver detox and have the ability to detox especially harmful, cancer-causing compounds from the body.[1]

Cauliflower is also a great source of vitamin C, B vitamins, and manganese. Each of these nutrients also play important roles in detox. You’ll also find ghee (my favorite!) in this recipe. Ghee and grass-fed butter are both good sources of the short-chain fatty acid, butyrate. Butyrate is important for gut health. It can improve intestinal function and integrity.[2, 3]
